The United States is unwilling to exempt Japan from a 10% equivalent tariff, analysts say this may be good news

On May 2nd, according to Kyodo News, the United States is unwilling to exempt Japan from the 10% equivalent tariff, highlighting the difficult negotiations between the United States and Japan. Analysts from the financial website Forexlive have stated that things are not progressing smoothly... The issue here is that the United States may want to retain a 10% (equivalent tariff) for all economies and "sell" it as good news, and the market may even like it (considering it is still much lower than what was announced on April 2), but the Japanese side has not made any concessions on this point.
